New Special Attacks

Let’s begin at the cutest part of the trailer, the newly introduced Pokémon Sun and Moon Pikachu Z-Move. In case you hadn’t heard about Z-Moves, they’re the new super powerful, once-per-battle attacks that are refreshing many classic Pokémon, including Snorlax and Pikachu. The Pokémon mascot’s Z-Move is a real crowd pleaser, with an adorable dance Pikachu does with his trainer. It’s so cute we’ve got to watch this on a loop.

Gosh, that Pikachu Z-Move is just the greatest, but it isn’t the only one. Eevee also has a new Z-Move too. The unique action adapts its ability to evolve into more creatures than just about any other. Eevee summons the power of all its later iterations to gain massive stat boosts. The Z-Move is (of course) called “Extreme Evoboost.”

Grooming Yourself and Your Pokémon

After showing off the new monsters that are exclusive to the two different versions of the game (learn about the new monsters here), it’s time to get all dressed up. First come details of how customizable your trainer is. You can continually change your hair, eye color, and clothing. Meanwhile, you can also groom your Pokémon to make them better in battle and happier in general. Modes like this have been in previous games, though this one is now called Pokémon Refresh.

As more and more information comes out, Pokémon Sun and Moon looks like the densest title in the series’ history. How much more will be announced before the Nov. 18 release date? We’ll just have to wait and see.
